I was listening to Abida Parveen which is by the way my favourite past times. Here is another beautiful verse from one of our beautiful Sufi poets, Baba Bulley Shah, brought to us by Abida Parveen.
Masjid Dha Day, Mandar Dha day, Dha day jo kuch Dhainda Aay
Par Kisi da dil na Dhaween, Rab Dilan Wich Rehnda Aay
Here is how it translates,
"You can go and demolish the Masjids (Muslims religious place of prayer), you can go and demolish the Mandirs (Hindus religious place of prayer). You can go and demolish anything that comes to your path, but don't demolish/hurt a heart cos God lives in it."
In this day and age of people going against each other because of religion, beliefs and for a lot of the matter politics, dont realize that its the people who suffer. The common man is not happy when anything that disturbs the routine life hinders. If he is unable to provide for his family, can't go to work he is not happy at all. It doesn't matter what goes on around the world if he is unable to get the basic responsibilities done because of the stuff happening around him.
Think again, it doesn't make a damn difference if people go around demolishing the religious places or worldly things when God and His Faith lives within the hearts. Don't break a heart cos God lives within hearts.
The 2.5% Make the Difference
This post is about one of the most inspiring few words I heard in my little which had immediate effect on me. These words are from my great Saas, yes my mother-in-law. Don't be surprised, you just have to keep your eyes and mind open to get inspired and it may come from any source. By the way, my mother-in-law is a Masters in Political Science and in one her our moody moments, she read out a few lines from an essay she had written a few months back. This post is also a tribute to her.
Here is what she said "Its the 2.5% of the water on this earth that makes the difference. It is this 2.5% that evaporates and flies high into the sky to the clouds and then when it rains it reaches the top of the mountains and comes back down to the ground. Its actually just this 2.5% of water that is running this whole world's show."
Come to think of it, we don't need a revolution which requires all 100% of the people on this earth to change things. Its only 2.5%. So whoever gets the slightest of intention to bring out a change, just go and do it. Its better to be part of the few good than the ignoring majority. Cos its only these 2.5% that are required to change the world into something better.
When only 2.5% of the water on this earth can run the whole show that we see, day in and day out, why can't we find the 2.5% people who can make about the change. Determine your role and play it. Be part of the 2.5% that runs the show and directs the traffic to something better. That is all that is required friends...that is all...That is required.
Salutations to the thinker on what a beautiful thought and the great words selected to transfer the emotions into something understandable for us normal people. Just beautiful, whoever reads this, do share it. Even if you didn't feel an emotion, if it can reach the right people and if it keeps circulating and you might have just played your part in preparing the 2.5% who are going to make this world a better place.
